Description

Integrated form closed loop brain depth stimulator based on sleep detection
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of closed loop control method that is used for brain depth stimulator, is a kind of integrated form closed loop brain depth stimulator of adjusting stimulus parameter through identification sleep and awakening automatically, in real time.
Background technology
Implantable medical device has become the patient's of the hardship that receives nerve or mental sickness deeply critical treatment device.The technical progress in nerve stimulation field makes the dark tool development prospect of implantable medical device.Implantable medical device comprises brain depth stimulator (the deep brain stimulator of dyskinetic diseases such as treatment parkinson disease, epilepsy, muscular tension be not normal; DBS); The SCS device of treatment pain (spinal cord stimulator, SCS), treatment epilepsy and depressed vagus nerve stimulator (vagus nerve stimulator; VNS), or the like.
Implantable medical device is treated nerve or mental sickness through the target spot nerve is applied electricity irritation, generally comprises pulse generator, extension lead and stimulating electrode etc.
The brain depth stimulator of clinical practice all belongs to the open loop stimulating system in the world now, promptly can't adjust stimulus parameter automatically according to patient's different demands, can't realize closed loop control.
According to the discovery of clinical research, dyskinesia property patients' such as parkinson disease symptom can be alleviated and even eliminated between sleep period, therefore in patient's sleep procedure, closes pulse generator or reduces intensity of electric stimulus, can the appreciable impact curative effect.
Continue stimulation between sleep period and can cause two problems.The first, the open loop that continues high-frequency electrical stimulation stimulates makes pulse generator be in lasting mode of operation, continues the consuming cells electric weight, when electric weight exhausts, need change battery through operation.For example, there is 4,000,000 Parkinsonian in the whole world at present, and patient's number of China is greatly about about 2,000,000.Treat Parkinsonian needs of patients about 200,000 RMB of cost on device with brain depth stimulator, and the battery of brain depth stimulator can be worked generally 5 years, changed pulse generator when the time comes and will spend about 14~150,000 RMB once more.The medical expense influence for the patient of the sound developed country of medical security of changing the required great number of battery of performing an operation still, for the patient of the not well established developing country of medical security, but is a disaster not quite! The second, nerve nucleus and peripheral nerve loop close relation that brain depth stimulator stimulates, lasting high-frequency electrical stimulation is disturbed normal neural loop to a certain extent, causes the patient to produce harmful effect at aspects such as cognition, behavior, psychology.The problems referred to above make that the demand of development closed loop brain depth stimulator is more urgent.
Therefore, between sleep period, close stimulator or reduce stimulus intensity and have important clinical value.Mainly be manual adjustment at present clinically or close stimulator.The doctor can regulate stimulus parameter or switching pulse generator through vitro program controlled instrument, but obviously can't daily use.The patient can use the magnet contactor pulse generator, perhaps use patient's controller switches pulse generator, in the scope that the doctor authorizes adjusting parameter, but the patient must operate when clear-headed, can't combine with sleeping.
The method that detects patient's sleep has a lot, but most of or can't realize real-time sleep detection, or is unfavorable for developing the closed loop brain depth stimulator of integrated form.Be several kinds of existing sleep detection methods below.
Close pulse generator in the set time of every day section.This method can not be called strict detection patient's sleep, but a kind of artificial definition patient's " sleep " method.For example; Brain depth stimulator
Figure BSA00000696077000021
series that U.S. Medtronic Inc. (Medtronic Inc) produces possesses the function of a day circulating working mode (day cycling feature).Though it circulating working mode can make pulse generator close electricity irritation output in the set time of every day section at (for example in evening to point in mornings 8) at 10, concerning the elasticity of demand patient of the length of one's sleep, seems not intelligent.
The EEG signals that obtain human body detect sleep.According to the sleep stage standard that Rechtschaffen and Kales proposed in nineteen sixty-eight, detecting indexs such as brain electricity, myoelectricity, an electricity is the golden standard of sleep study.For example, patent CN201120043642.1 mentions through detecting eeg signal and realizes external sleep detection, and this method needs patient wear that the headgear of scalp electrode is housed, and has increased the operating body burden of sleep characteristics harvester outward.Therefore, detect the realization that sleep has restricted the integrated form brain depth stimulator through EEG signals.
Obtain the moving signal detection sleep of body of human body.For example, patent CN200780040003.6 proposition utilization is laid on pad and is moved signal by the body that following pressure receptor obtains the person to go to bed, judges person to go to bed's sleep or wakefulness.Though this scheme has realized basic sleep/awakening and has detected that the pad that uses in the scheme is unfavorable for realizing integrated closed loop brain depth stimulator.
Therefore, in conjunction with effective closed loop control mechanism, might realize the closed loop brain depth stimulator of integrated form through the moving signal of the body of human body.But existing patent does not all provide the scheme that realizes " integrated form " and " closed loop control " simultaneously.For example, patent WO2006033039-A1 proposes through obtaining the acceleration signal at a plurality of positions such as Parkinsonian's wrist, ankle, according to detected patient's the symptom of trembling, realizes the automatic control of brain depth stimulator.Because this scheme need be carried extra sensing device at a plurality of positions of patient body; And the acceleration information that a plurality of pick offs sense need be transferred to controller by wireless communication technology; Therefore, the said requirement that can not reach the integrated form device of this patent.Again for example, patent US2011082522-A1 has proposed a kind of spinal nerves stimulation protocol of regulating stimulus parameter according to the residing different attitudes of human body.The spinal nerves stimulation is used to treat pains and other diseases.Because the stimulating electrode of spinal nerves stimulator is near spinal column, so when human body was in different attitudes, the relative distance of stimulating electrode and spinal column changed, nonadjustable stimulus parameter can't satisfy curative effect.So this scheme utilization is integrated in the moving signal of body of the acceleration transducer human body in the pulse generator, thereby obtain the residing attitude such as stand, couch, lie on the back of human body, regulate stimulus parameter, realize controlled nerve stimulation according to different attitudes.This scheme is more suitable for the SCS device of treatment pain, but but is not suitable for the brain depth stimulator of diseases such as treatment parkinson disease, epilepsy.Because the residing attitude of patient does not influence the latter's curative effect.

Fig. 5 is the signal processing method of Real time identification sleep/awakening of the present invention.The processing procedure of this processing method comprises the contents such as the disconnected standard of major punishment of obtaining sleep/awakening Real time identification function, being directed against first judged result proposition; The entire process process for realize on the sheet, real time signal processing propose maybe, be of value to the closed loop brain depth stimulator of realizing integrated form.
Signal from the feedback information that sleep detection module 6 obtains in the extract real-time human body autonomic activities frequency range, because the frequency of the moving signal of the body of human body autonomic activities is no more than 4Hz, the band limits that extracts is chosen as 0.25Hz~4Hz.
Next step obtains the body fatigue resistance of each time slice.The length of time slice is preferably 30 seconds, and the selection of follow-up for ease recognition function and judgment threshold is with definite.Preferably, the method that characterizes the body fatigue resistance is suc as formula shown in (1).
A = 1 t ( ∫ 0 t | x ( t ) | dt + ∫ 0 t | y ( t ) | dt + ∫ 0 t | z ( t ) | dt ) - - - ( 1 )
Wherein, A represents the body fatigue resistance in this time slice, and x (t), y (t), z (t) are respectively that sample point is through the 3-axis acceleration signal behind the said signal processing.Though this expression formula is the universal expression formula that characterizes the body fatigue resistance; But the length of the body fatigue resistance value that obtains and the sensitivity of pick off, precision, signal sampling rate, time slice; And a plurality of factors such as placement location of pick off are relevant, and reasonably choosing each parameter is the key that obtains ideal body fatigue resistance value.
Next step calculates the value of the sleep/awakening Real time identification function of each time slice.This recognition function is suc as formula shown in (2).
D=P(W -4A -4+W -3A -3+W -2A -2+W -1A -1+W 0A 0) (2)
Wherein, P represents scale factor, A -iRepresent current (i=0) or the body fatigue resistance in i time slice before, W -iCurrent (i=0) or the weight coefficient of the body fatigue resistance of i time slice are before chosen in representative.
Recognition function (2) is characterised in that, only use when precursor fatigue resistance value and current before body fatigue resistance value, and do not rely on the body fatigue resistance after current, for realizing real-time target detection condition is provided.In order to choose suitable value for the coefficient in the expression formula, need carry out in a large number, test widely, and with standard testing result as standard.
Utilize the gold method of identification sleep/awakening; For example; (polysomnography PSG) can obtain testing result as standard to the sleep analysis monitor appearance, confirms the value of weight parameter, scale factor through adjustment; At last the value of the Real time identification function that obtains and some or certain several threshold value are compared, obtain the judged result of sleeping comparatively accurately/awakening.Body fatigue resistance under human body awakening and the sleep state has notable difference, chooses first kind threshold value and can distinguish " sleep " and " awakening " state.Then, further distinguish the sleep level under " sleep " state according to the difference of body fatigue resistance.Research shows that the height of body fatigue resistance has linear relation, the body fatigue resistance of the body fatigue resistance> sleep stage 3,4 of body fatigue resistance>sleep stage 2 of the body fatigue resistance>rapid eye movement phase of sleep stage 1 with sleep stage.So, from the switching record of the sleep stage that obtains through the sleep analysis monitor appearance, extract body fatigue resistance when sleep stage switches as second type of threshold value, further judge different sleep level.
Next step, with the first kind threshold value of choosing and second type of threshold ratio, obtain the preliminary judged result of the sleep/awakening of each time slice.Judged result be divided into awakening, sleep level I, sleep level II ..., several kinds of states such as deep sleep.
Next step carries out the disconnected process of major punishment.Because each time slice is shorter, receives the influence of accidentalia, for example, the unconscious state of sitting quietly or repose that stands up under action, the wakefulness under the sleep state all might influence the result who just judges.To the various situation that possibly cause that erroneous judgement is disconnected, stipulate the following major punishment standard of breaking.
Major punishment break standard one, to eliminate the erroneous judgement that accidentalia causes disconnected.When the time slice of the front and back some of the judged result of certain isolated or successive and less state was judged as a certain other state, these isolated or successive and less judged results were negated.
Major punishment break standard two, utilize the residing attitude auxiliary examination of human body judged result.It is disconnected that this standard can be eliminated quiet erroneous judgement upright or that situation such as sit quietly causes.Since in the sleep procedure attitude of human body generally be in lie on the back, prostrate, lie on one's side several kinds, be vertical orientation of human body with quiet maximum difference upright or that sit quietly.Through the polarity of inspection 3-axis acceleration value, perhaps through calculating human body azimuth longitudinally, negative human body is in the sleep state under the quiet upright or attitude of sitting quietly or supports that human body is in the sleep state under the bed posture, and is as the same to the auxiliary examination method of wakefulness.
Major punishment break standard three, choose the threshold value of suitable species, status recognition under appropriate sensitivity.Because the general sleep state that is difficult for awakening through about 20 minutes shallow phase entering of sleeping of human body; After using first kind threshold decision to be " sleep " state; If the judgement of this state has continued 20 minutes; Judgement so can be selected second type of threshold value, the different sleep level in further more sensitive identification " sleep " state.
Finally obtain sleep/wakefulness of confirming: awakening, sleep level I, sleep level II ..., the deep sleep.Detailed sleep/awakening recognition result is that the control strategy that improves the closed loop control module provides condition.On the one hand; Closed loop control module 7 can be adapted to be in the electrical stimulation parameters that the patient accepted under the different conditions according to the recognition result setting; Suppress neuronic undesired discharge with optimum stimulus parameter, the harmful effect that the patient brings is reduced to minimum to lasting high-frequency electrical stimulation; On the other hand, as required, controlled electricity irritation strategy reduced the electric quantity consumption that output is provided with drive division 9, is beneficial to the service time that prolongs power module 10.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart of first kind of specific embodiments of the closed loop brain depth stimulator based on sleep detection of the present invention.This embodiment is based on the simple closed loop deep brain stimulation mode of sleep detection.The 6 round-the-clock unlatchings of sleep detection module obtain the state of the residing sleep of patient/awakening.When the patient was in wakefulness, what output was provided with that drive division 9 continues applied high-frequency electrical stimulation to the target spot nerve, i.e. electricity irritation is in normal mode of operation.When the patient was in sleep state, output was provided with drive division 9 and stops to export electricity irritation or weakening the intensity of exporting electricity irritation.Further, when the patient was in dormant sleep level I, output was provided with drive division 9 corresponding output stimulus intensity grade I; When the patient was in dormant sleep level II, output was provided with drive division 9 corresponding output stimulus intensity grade II; By that analogy.When the patient was in dormant deep sleep, output was provided with drive division 9 and stops to export electricity irritation.The corresponding relation of stimulus intensity grade and sleep level obtains through clinical trial, and purpose is that the intensity of electric stimulus that applies suitable the lowest class reaches best therapeutic effect.
